Artist's Comments

The life cycle of a kettle.

Full view is massive and high detail. The original file is over thirty thousand pixels wide.

The actual drawing itself is 2 feet high by 24 feet wide. Pencil on 200gsm paper. Click here [link] for a photograph that gives an impression of scale.

This illustration documents the usage of materials in the life cycle of a kettle, from the quarry, through a steel works and other factory processes, packaging, distribution, warehouse, showroom, mass domestic use of power and water (fossil fuels?), and the product's eventual fate as landfill.

It was drawn in response to the DOTT07 "Stuff-o-meter" brief for the D&AD student awards. [link]

Well the detail and the artistic aspect itself is awesome, and even more awesome is how u framed it all together at how u pieced them all together. Very very very well thought out and executed.

That is one helluva exercise in perspectives! Your transitions from one segment to the other are very effortless. The perspective shifts are the signalfiers, but they make perfect sense. Good job.
:iconhbo-pixellated:
Awesome detail there, Nicoll. Is this going to be used for some sort government PSA, or education video or something?
